I chose JALC to pursue my educational career in elementary education because of the small class sizes, campus activities, and affordability!
I chose JALC because I wanted to have a smoother transition into the college life. Being able to go to a community college lets you explore your career options at a cheaper price. Community college saved a ton of stress, money, and risk!
I chose JALC because of the amazing people and the strong sense of community. The smaller class sizes let me build close relationships with my classmates and professors. It’s also affordable and close to home, which helps me stay connected with family and friends.
John A. Logan College has launched a new program with its in-district high schools and private schools to provide last-dollar scholarships to participating students.
⚡ Big upgrade for our Biomedical Electronics Technology students!
Our classes recently received two ventilators from the early 2000s donated by Hamilton Memorial Hospital, replacing equipment that dated back to 1967!
Shoutout to Clintech, who services the ventilators, for helping make this connection happen.
Students are now training on real-world equipment they’ll actually see in the field after graduation. 🙌
Pictured with the two recently donated ventilators is our new Electronics Instructor Nate Harte, who feels blessed to continue the program in the role once held by his former teacher George Bricker, making this a meaningful full-circle moment. 💙

CTE Month Student Spotlight: Sean Murphy
After serving in the Navy as an avionics technician, Sean Murphy returned to John A. Logan College to turn his passion for hands-on technical work into a career in HVAC.
Now finishing the HVAC program this summer, Sean credits CTE training, supportive instructors, and real-world shop experience for building his confidence and job-ready skills. He plans to work locally in residential HVAC and hopes to one day return to teach and mentor future students.

🎶 Thank you to Corey Harris for a powerful Black History Month Social Science Speaker Series event, Blues the World Forgot.
Corey delivered a moving history lesson on the roots of the blues and closed with a live performance that brought that history to life in front of a large crowd in O’Neil Auditorium Monday.
As he shared, this music “arose like a rose from the concrete,” born from struggle, shaped by culture, and carried forward through generations.
Brought to you by the Department of Communications, Humanities, and Social Sciences at JALC.
Four hundred sophomores from area high schools took over the John A. Logan College campus Friday and brought the energy with them! ⚡
Students stepped into the future with VR headsets that simulated real technical careers, battled it out in College Feud and Bingo while learning about campus resources, explored hands-on programs, learned about paying for college and the benefits of dual credit and early college classes, and even wrote letters to their future selves.
From gaming to goal setting, they didn’t just visit campus. They experienced it.
We love giving students a chance to see what their future could look like right here at JALC.
